So you're wondering how the Mizzou Tigers match up to the
Sooners?
Offense | | Both offenses are top notch. Chase Daniel, a Texas h.s. star that inexplicably bypassed OU, leads the Tiger offense. Sooners have played against the 108, 116 and 119 ranked defenses in D-1 A. Mizzou had played marginally tougher D, withi similar results.
|
Defense | | Mizzou has struggled stopping Illinois and Mississippi. Sooners have held every opponent below their average points scored. |
Special Teams | |
The Sooners are better in kickoffs and kick returns, Tigers have the edge in punt returns and punt coverage. Hartley has been spotty this year, but is better than Mizzou kicker. Slight edge to the LandThieves. |
Stadium Name | | Faurot Field vs Owen Field at Gaylord Family Memorial Stadium. I love simple names. UM must have forgotten to charge former coach Faurot money for the honor. |
Coaching | | Coach Stoops vs Gary Pinkel. Pinkel has been notorious at UM for late season fades. Stoops problem is he loses once or twice a year. Pinkel is 2 |
Cool Alumni | | Sheryl "One Tile" Crow leads the pack for the Tigers. Brad Pitt probably seeks solace from his relationship woes to consider his time at Missouri. Other Mizzou alums include Sam Walton (offset by his wife being a Sooner), web journalists Dennis Dodd and one of my favorites, Pat Forde or espn.com. Mort Walker, creator of Beatle Bailey forces the edge to Missouri. |
Nation's Largest Blood Drive | | Now that's a good cause. |
